Doctor can help: People usually do not suddenly start crying without a reason. Even when young babies cry, they still have reasons. One's primary care doctor can help figure out the problem, and may refer to a psychologist or psychiatrist if needed. Sometimes symptoms are related to changes in hormones. Other times, symptoms may be due to medication effects. Blood tests may be needed. Stress is often a factor.
